Welcome to First Note Studios! I am so pleased that you are considering music classes for your child. Research has shown that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine. Music and movement are essential for a child's growth. They promote language and literacy, mathematical learning, physical development, and social/emotional well-being. First Note Studios offers instruction that is designed specifically for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. 

The Musikgarten classes offered at First Note Studios are designed to nurture the child’s music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the program, playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks, drums, shakers and more!

Musikgarten is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music.

As you familiarize yourself with the class offerings and learn more about Musikgarten, I look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into my music studio.
